686 Technical Apperal

686 founder Michael Akira West first stepped on a skateboard as a youth in the early eighties. Since that day, he immediately had a new addiction and inspiration. The freedom that skateboarding provided birthed a lifelong quest for freedom of expression through all forms of mediums. Throughout the following years, Mike transitioned from skateboarding to snowboarding, working and riding in Big Bear, CA and continually exploring new ideas including unique apparel based around the southern California snowboard scene.

The name “686” has its roots in numerics. There have been a lot of rumors about the meaning of 686, but 686 stems from personal dates and numbers in Mike's life that all merged together at the perfect time. However personal as it started, the number has now become synonymous with providing innovative, forward thinking outerwear and technical apparel inspired by the outdoors and mountain culture.

Today, 686 has evolved to be the leading brand in technical outdoor wear, on and off the slopes. Check out what Sully’s has to offer by checking out our selection of the 19/20 686 collection.
